Divorce-Personal Narrative

Personal Narrative: Divorce Mum had briefly informed me that we were going to a place that would

My parents' divorce was one of my most significant life events. As a result of my parents' divorce, I lived in a divided home. I spent part of my time with my father (usually weekends and a few holidays) and part of my time with my mother (weekdays and other major holidays). Unlike other children my age, who tended to conceive of their parents as infallible well into adolescence, I understood at a young age that my parents were not perfect. My mother frequently criticized my father and vice versa. At first, I felt resentful towards both of them for shattering my world. It was uncomfortable and awkward having to deal with both of them when the anger of the divorce was still festering.

I filed for divorce with my wife in May of 2014 we just couldn’t get along there was lying, stealing, drugs and she was cheating on me and was always gone. It was the hardest decision I have ever had to make by myself but I knew it had to be done I knew at that time there was no saving her nothing I could do. I was so scared I didn’t know what to do I needed the money for an attorney my cousin Betty is a paralegal for Roger’s County courthouse and has made several friends while working there she introduced me to an attorney by the name of Justin Greer. He knew I had no money out of the kindness of his heart he let me only pay him $600 for his retainer fee (which was usually $2,500). I set up a meeting with him and he started the paperwork for

The most paramount challenge I have had to face in education and every facet of my life has been the divorce of my parents when I was in the 3rd grade. Overcoming the emotional chains of the event has been in an oxymoronic fashion extremely simple, and the hardest thing to do in the world. After about half a year of feeling like Atlas with the earth on my shoulders, a decision had to be made. I choose to continue on with my life, but also improve every aspect of it. My grades skyrocketed, I became extremely social, and overall I was much happier. A simple decision, but one that led me to where I am today. It is terribly unfortunate that too many people in my situation would simply give up, look at proverbial “bare wall” and proclaim, “I can’t

Thirteen ended up being the worst year of my life, because my parents got a divorce.

It was a warm December day when I found the footprints in the snow by my front door. Even though it was thirty degrees outside, the snow was still a few feet deep from the snowfall last Thursday, when I had looked outside my door, making sure my car was there and not vandalized and instead saw the footprints strewn across my front yard. My home, a meager yard with the majority of it comprised of a concrete driveway; but the prints were visible, about the size of large dogs, but the details about the tracks caught my eyes as I bent over and to obtain a closer view of their bizarre shape.

Most people love to have a nice, relaxing night at home. I so do I. Tonight is different though, my parents announced they were getting a divorce yesterday. I always hear about peoples parents getting divorced but I never thought my parents would. They always looked so happy around each other, but now I live with my father. I sit on my bed in my room, my head in my hands, thinking about my life. I cant take it any more, I need some air. I burst out the front door and outside into the darkness. I walk slowly down my street, Serenity Lane. A scream breaks the silence of the night and stops as soon as it starts. My hearts beats faster and faster as I start running towards the scream. I see a body in between my neighbors house,

Not much to say about my childhood. I was always sick so i could never leave the house. Didn’t have many friends to hang out with. I just read books or played board games by myself. I guess I might have felt as if I might disappear. I mean the attention in my family is all directed towards my sister for the most part. And the divorce keeps my parents busy bickering. With friends I kind of just hang in the background as everyone else talks. At social gatherings i tend to get left out so i just sit by myself. I don’t tend to get noticed much. A phony thing people do that annoys me is pretending to be nice or caring when they could care less about you. Life is completely a game and if you don’t play by the rules then you’ll lose at life. 90 percent

When I made the decision to divorce my husband 10 years ago, I thought I had pretty much figured out what my life would be like. Single parent with a great support system. Working full-time as a software sales professional, and faith that moved mountains. I GOT THIS!

Divorce isn't something I ever wanted to go through. We were married at a young age, shortly after I graduated LPN school. I worked full time at a local nursing home and he worked as a lineman for the power company in VA so he was only home three days a week. We bought a house in the newest housing subdivision in Summersville. My life felt complete or so I thought.

Many people try to become a statistic, whether it is to place in the top of their class or something equally as great. At the age of 29, I became a statistic. I joined 40 to 50 percent of marriages that end in a divorce (Marriage & Divorce, 2017). Just because I became a statistic, it did not mean the label had to define me as a failure. I refused to let the label define me personally; even though I did feel like a failure in many ways. I was determined to find a way to turn this unfortunate event something positive, and that would mold me into a better person. I did. I transitioned into an outgoing and outspoken mother, with impeccable time management skills, and most importantly, I became independent.

Through my life I faced many hardships such as my amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, his two divorces, and three kids me and my wife had to take care of.

When I hear the word ‘divorce’ the first thing that comes to my mind is a broken marriage or how the adults are moving on with their lives to bigger and better things, the same thing other people would think of when hearing this word. For me, there is so much more for divorces in a family than the mother and father. Divorces affect the children in the relationship the same if not more than it affects the adults, most people seem to forget that. I have been through two divorces now and I believe it has changed me for the better, and has made me become the person I am today.

My parents were never legally married, but were together for about ten years or maybe more. I never really gave much thought to the idea of them not being married, but once when I was in first grade a

I was sitting in my room, trying to do my homework that I couldn’t quite devote my attention to. There was a noise nagging at me. It was in the distance, but I heard it like a clap in my ear. The noise brought me grief and fear, my parents’ fighting. Sometimes the yelling would be so loud and continuous that my head would ache, and I wondered what I could do to make them stop. Shortly after my parents’ fight, my mom came into my room. She told me that she and my dad were getting a divorce. As my mom left the room, my siblings came in, just as frightened as I was. “What’s a divorce?” I asked them. My twin sister explained to me, “It means that we’re gonna have two Christmases.” My older sister piped in, saying “I think it means that Mommy and Daddy are not gonna be together anymore…” I just wanted our family to stay together, I didn’t want two Christmases.
